In our travels around Lake Superior, Duluth has become our favorite Lake Superior "Big Town."

Few travelers to Duluth can miss the Aerial Lift bridge (pictured above - center). This Duluth landmark separates Canal Park from Minnesota Point - the spit of land (actually an island) that runs east of the bridge. This picture was taken from Enger Tower rising from the top of the 600 ft high bluff that runs for several miles along this edge of Lake Superior.

Our Favorite Things to See and Do while in Duluth:

Walking The Duluth Lake Walk
Ship watching from the Aerial Lift bridge and lighthouse walk, and visiting the Marine Museum at the Martine Visitor Center.
Canal Park Shopping, Browsing and Outdoor Cafes
Touring the Rose Gardens on London Road
Driving along Skyline Drive and Seven Bridges Road
Hiking and Bird Watching at Hawk Ridge
Shopping, dining, and tasting at Fitger's Brew Pub Complex
Hiking and picnicking at Park Point & the Sand Dunes
Picnicking and Rock Picking at Brighton Beach
Climbing the Enger Park Tower and touring their Japanese gardens
Attending the Lake Superior Dragon Boat Festival
Golfing at Enger Park and Lester Park Golf Courses

There are several waterfalls in and around Duluth but unless you are there in the spring of the year the trickle of water pales in comparison to what you find if you travel a little further up the Minnesota North Shore.
